In today's NHL, coaches move forwards around from position to position without hesitation. Left wingers become right wingers, centres become wingers. However it's seldom wingers become centres. And with the freewheeling motion of today's game the old static "wing on wing" system of play that existed until the Soviet influence came into the game in the 1970's has evolved into today's crowd-pleasing free flowing puck-support game.
So for the purposes of breaking down Canadiens talent among forwards, we can only use 'listed position' knowing full well that things can change on a coaching tactical-whim.
We'll start at right wing for no other reason than the Canadiens list the greater number of signed forwards at that position, a total of twelve. At first glance at the list, the first tthought that comes to mind is 'quantity doesn't mean quality'.
Erik Cole and Brian Gionta are entrenched on the right side of the number one and number two lines. After that it's a mashup of underachievers, rookies and role players. The Canadiens need to get some offense from their third line. Right now, with free agency decisions pending, the choices seem to be Rene Bourque, Aaron Palushaj or Louis Leblanc.
Rene Bourque – When the Canadiens traded Michael Cammalleri to Calgary for Bourque it was well known they were getting an Andrei Kostitsyn clone, a player with a desire to compete in one of every three games. In reality, for whatever reason, they got worse than that. Five goals in 38 games and public ridicule directed not only on Bourque but on Pierre Gauthier, who engineered the deal. Bourque is a good skater and has a hard shot but has 'bad hands' who's goalscoring comes mostly when he's crashing the goalcrease. When he's in the mood he does have a physical component to his game and he seems to take some responsibility when placed in a penalty killing role. Because he's got a string of twenty goal seasons in his resume, his contract is probably tradeable, but considering the proven offensive abilities of those behind him on the depth chart, can the Canadiens afford to get rid of him without designating a qualified replacement?
Louis Leblanc is listed as a centre but, considering the current centre ice situation, his short term future is at right wing where he finished the season. Leblanc was forced into the Canadiens lineup before physically ready by injuries. He handled the responsibility well enough to make believers in his NHL future. If Leblanc manages to put on ten to fifteen pounds over the summer, something he couldn't do last year because of shoulder surgery, Leblanc will be very much in the front line right wing picture.
Aaron Palushaj – Recalled by the Canadiens five times last season. A first line forward in Hamilton, he was forced into some kind checking role in Montreal which was a total disconnect from whatever offensive abilities he might be developing. Had he remained in Hamilton for the year, Palushaj was on track for an 80 point 35 goal season. With the Canadiens in 38 games he had a goal and four assists. One of the best skaters in the Canadiens entire system. Unless his training camp indicates he's ready to take an offensive role, like Leblanc he would be better off back in Hamilton rather than relegation to another wasted season of limited ice time on a checking line.
Brendan Gallagher – Signed to a three year entry level contract after another outstanding season with the junior WHL Vancouver Giants. Caused a stir at Canadiens training camp last September. Small. Very skilled and smart with a competitive streak that mirrors that of David Desharnais. Not likely to make the jump directly to the Canadiens but after what we witnessed last September, who knows?
Ryan White – At this point we start talking about role players. White heads the class. The "sandpaper" description is now entering the realm of hockey cliché, but if one is really forced to use the word, it describes White. No goals in twenty games, but he looks after his teammates and does his job defensively. Very courageous. Not particularly big.
Michael Blunden – 6'4" 190 lbs. Would like to see him with another fifteen pounds. Still, he's a hard checker. Coaches liked him. Called up in mid December and remained for the rest of the season, except for a twenty game stretch following a knee arthroscopy. Not a great passer and despite his size needs to find away to improve on his ability to win one-on-one puck battles. Still, with limited games (39) and ice time (9:21 per game) he was still fourth on the team in total recorded hits with 104, second among forwards only to Erik Cole's 186 who played in twice as many games and registered twice the ice time per game.
Brad Staubitz – Picked up off the waiver wire from Minnesota. Pure fighter with no regard for the weight class of his opponent. Only possible role with the team would be as thirteenth forward with special assignments (Boston? Philadelphia?). Strong enough skater to become a fourth line defensive specialist but so far hasn't figured how to fill the role. Was a defenseman in junior hockey.
Ian Schultz – 6′ 1″ 200lbs. Forgotten part of the Lars Eller/Jaroslav Halak deal. Became something more than an afterthought after he logged 23 points including six goals in his second pro season while continuing to keep opponents honest by fighting twelve times. Seems to have figured out that a player has to stay in shape to remain in today's professional hockey. Some are comparing him to Chris Neil at the same development stage. The Canadiens actually called him up in mid February but he didn't dress. Now a true prospect, but still needs more AHL time.
Patrick Holland – At first glance another apparent trade throw-in. Part of the Cammalleri/Bourque deal. Down the road he may be regarded as the key component. Led the WHL with 88 assists while playing with Tri City. 6'0" – 170 lbs. Good skater, playmaker and two way competitor. Has obvious high upside as a pro. Will spend year in Hamilton.
The Others – Brian Willsie – 32 years old – not a prospect. Alexander Avtsin – 6'3" 200lbs. An enigma. Has all of the athletic tools to be a top six forward in the NHL but has not yet been able to get it together. Probably should have gone to junior hockey when he came over from Russia rather going straight to the AHL as an eighteen year old. Has eleven goals in 121 games at Hamilton over two seasons. Turned 21 last month. Still lots of time.
On The Negotiation List – – Danny Kristo – University of North Dakota. Top prospect. 5'11". One year left at school. Steve Quailer – Northeastern University – 6'4" – another year in college. Maxim Trunev – 21 year old – 5'11" 189 lbs. Severstal Cherepovats of KHL Showing no sign of wanting to come to North America.
One can only guess what might happen over the summer. The right side of the top two lines is set with Cole and Gionta. After that? Bourque's game has gaping holes. Palushaj's speed and minor league offense will get him a good look as the Eller's right winger. So will Leblanc. Everything is building blocks. Who the Canadiens recruit as Eller's other winger will also factor into the equation at training camp. After that it's fourth line stuff. White, Staubitz, Blunden all will figure in that scenario.
Next Up – A look at the Canadiens depth at left wing.

It's time for Saturday Night Genealogy Fun from Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings.
Randy presents as your mission, should you decide to accept it:
1) Decide which of your (many?) genealogy research adventures in 2011 was your "very best" (your definition).
2) Tell us about it in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, in a Status report or comment on Facebook, or in a Stream note on Google Plus.
Here's mine:
My very best genealogy research adventure for 2011 was finding the final division of slaves in the probate records for the estate of Edward Mobley who died in 1839 in Chester District, SC. I discovered early in my research that my 2nd great grandfather, Miles, was a slave in the Taliaferro family in DeKalb and Fulton County Georgia, but until last year I did not have a paper trail to document what I knew from circumstantial evidence to be true. Thanks to the amazing records on FamilySearch.org I found the documentation I had long searched for – that Miles was one of the slaves allotted to Susan Mobley Taliaferro the daughter of Edward Mobley. Wait! There's more. I also discovered two very promising candidates for my 2nd great grandmother Lizzie in that same document. It was a research-altering discovery. You can read about this research triumph in my earlier post "Lizzie Taliaferro, My 2nd Great Grandmother. Have I Found Her?

In October of 1899, James Thomas Beagles, aka J. T. Biggles, of Rays Mill, GA sat in the Berrien County jail in Nashville. At that time the jailhouse was a log building that had been constructed some 25 years earlier. Beagles was being held for trial for the 1887 killing of his brother-in-law on the steps of Henry H. Knight's store at Rays Mill.
At that 1899 term of the Superior Court of Berrien County, the jail where Beagles and 11 other prisoners awaited trial was found by the Grand Jury to be in deplorable condition.
Tifton Gazette
Oct. 13, 1899 — page 1
Returned by the Grand Jury, October Term, Berrien Superior Court.
We, the Grand Jury, chosen and sworn to serve at this term of the court beg leave to submit the following General Presentments:
We have examined the jail of our county and find it in bad sanitary condition, owing to the size and arrangement of said building, the same being entirely too small and badly arranged, prisoners having to be crowded together, male and female. We attach no fault whatever to the sheriff and jailer in charge, believing that he is doing all in his power to keep the same in order under existing circumstances. And we recommend that our Board of County Commissioners, at as early date as is expedient, build a new jail house and procure sufficient jail cells and arrange said building and cells so as to keep sexes separate and apart, as well as white and colored persons incarcerated therein, considering as we do the present jail a disgrace to the county…
Despite the findings of the Grand Jury, it would be another four years before the now historic building now known as the "old jail" was constructed.
The Berrien Superior Court convened that fall on Monday, October 9, 1899 with Judge Augustin H. Hansell presiding, and Jonathan Perry Knight acting as Clerk of the Superior Court. The docket was full that session and the judge postponed the civil cases, dismissing the witnesses, in order to get on with the trial of the criminal cases. Among the Grand Jury members were Warren L. Kennon, Henry Griffin, and Jonathan L Herring, editor of the Tifton Gazette. Silas Tygart served as clerk, and the jury members selected for their foreman, Malcolm J. McMillian.
Ex-Senator M. J. McMillian, of Alapaha, is not an office-seeker, but the people know him to be an honorable and upright man, and insist on having his services. He is foreman of the grand jury this week, though he hid, in an effort to escape the honor when the jury was about to make the selection.
– Ocilla Dispatch.
In addition to the charge of murder against James Thomas Beagles, the criminal docket included: Emma Reese charged with assault and attempted murder; Jim Oscar Stearns charge with the murder of Amos White; Warren G. Moss on the charge of burglary at Lenox; Allen Cooper charged with the killing of Philip Johnson at Kissemmee, FL; Rachel Thomas on counts of assault and battery; John Davis for burglary of the store of Mr. I.D. Ford; Robert Bell for simple larceny from Mr. W.M. Thurman; North Cochran for highway robbery.
The session of the superior court drew a significant crowd, and so was also prone to interruptions of every sort.
The woman "with the hoe" turned up at the last session of Berrien superior court. She was colored, lived near Cecil, and laid open the cheek of another woman during a rucus, with that useful plantation instrument.
The attorneys arguing before the court were colorful and well-known characters of the Wiregrass judicial circuits. Colonel Hammond, for example, was one of the prosecuting attorneys but was himself facing prosecution for shooting and wounding Colonel A. L. Hawes at Thomasville the week before.
But it was the Beagles case that generated the most interest. The case had dragged over a decade because of the flight and subsequent return of Beagles. Beagles was defended by Col. William Hamilton Griffin, who was judge of the Valdosta City Court and a former mayor of Valdosta. Col. Griffin was a native of Berrien County and had served previously as clerk of the Berrien County court and as Ordinary of Berrien County.
Berrien's Mills of Justice at their Semi Annual Grind.
Berrien's superior court convened Monday morning at ten o'clock, that grey-haired veteran of the bench, Judge Aug. H. Hansell, presiding. Besides the county bar, those of Worth, Lowndes, Thomas, Colquitt and Albany were well represented.
The grand jury organized by electing Hon M. J. McMillan foreman and Silas Tygart clerk, and after an able and comprehensive charge from his honor, settled down to work, with a volume of business before it.
Nashville, Oct. 10. – The entire day (Tuesday) in superior court has been consumed in the trial of Thos. J. Beagles for the killing of Madison G. Pearson, at the justice court grounds at Ray's Mill, Nov. 4th, 1891. [Note: actual date was 1887]
Beagles had married Pearson's sister, and to this marriage Pearson was violently opposed. Growing out of this opposition, there was bad blood between the two for a year or more, and Pearson had threatened Beagles' life, and gone to his home and cursed him in the presence of his wife.
Beagles then swore out a peace warrant against his brother-in-law, on which he was arrested and gave bond for his appearance at justice court the next day.
In the court house the row was again raised, and Pearson invited Beagles out to fight him, starting out at the door and pulling off his coat as he did so. As Pearson was on the steps, going down, Beagles, who was standing near, drew a pistol and shot him in the side of his head, killing him instantly.
Beagles then went to Florida, where he staid [sic] several years, and on his return was arrested and finally admitted to bail.
Sometime ago, Beagles' bondsmen gave him up, and he has been in jail for two months.
At the trial to-day, the state was represented by Solicitor-Gen. Thomas and Col. W. M. Hammond, while Cols. Jos. A. Alexander and W. H. Griffin represented the defendant.
The battle has been a hard-fought one throughout the day, and every point of the evidence thoroughly sifted. At adjournment to-night, the fight is not concluded, Cols. Thomas and Alexander having addressed the jury, while Cols. Griffin and Hammond will address them tomorrow.
Oct. 11. – The morning session of superior court was occupied with the speeches of Cols. Griffin and Hammond on the Beagles case. That of Col. Griffin, for the defendant, was a masterly arrangement of law and evidence in behalf of his client, and delivered in the clear, concise manner for which Col. Griffin is so well known.
The argument of Col. Hammond was eloquent and strong, well supported by law, and his arrangement of the prisoner was scathing and masterly. The arguments were concluded before one o'clock, and Judge Hansell delivered his charge to the jury before adjourning for dinner.
Oct. 13 … Judge Griffin made a most eloquent and affecting appeal in behalf of his client, Beagles, for a light sentence, and every one in the court room was moved by his strong and well-chosen words.
Sentences were then pronounced as follows…
J. A. Beagles, white, convicted of manslaughter, with recommendation, two years in penitentiary.
But James Thomas Beagles did not spend his two year sentence in the penitentiary. The very same issue of the Tifton Gazette that carried the outcome of the October 1899 term of the Superior Court of Berrien County also carried an interesting note on the convict lease system:
"There is a big boom in the value of state convicts. Recently there has been a strong demand for the convicts, and lessees under the new system are anxious to get all the men that they can even at advanced prices"
Under the convict lease system, J. T. Beagles was sent to the convict camp at Fargo, GA. G.S. Baxter & Company operated the convict camp at Fargo to provide labor for the firm's large sawmill operation. The sawmill at Fargo was the largest in Clinch County, and by 1903 the State Prison System of Georgia was leasing more than 1,000 convicts to the firm. (see Connie Moore and the Fargo Convict Camp)
After serving his sentence, J. T. Beagles returned to Ray City to make his home and work.

Ahead of World Teachers' Day, UN Photo is asking you to send in photo's of your favourite teacher, past or present, with your name and country, and tell them, in one sentence, why they mean so much to you.
Upload your photo on the UN Photo Facebook page.
World Teachers' Day is held annually on 5 October to celebrate the essential role of teachers in providing quality education at all levels. It also commemorates the anniversary of the 1966 signature of the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation Concerning the Status of Teachers.
The 2011 events will focus on the theme "Teachers for Gender Equality".
New figures indicate that two million new teaching positions will be needed in order to meet the goal of universal primary education by 2015. Gender balance among staff is vital: countries with a higher proportion of female primary teachers are more likely to have higher enrolment rates for girls in secondary schools.
In addition, the supply of primary teachers is simply not matching the demand - particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, according to UNESCO's Institute for Statistics.
Gender equality in education is a major global concern, but despite commitments to international gender goals, the majority of out-of-school children, and two-thirds of illiterate adults are female. Women and girls thus form the largest single category of people deprived of full and equal opportunities for education.

You see I watched the movie from a different viewpoint. I knew this was going to be a Peter Jackson rendition of the books and made a conscious decision to not get annoyed at things he added in. I found I enjoyed it a lot more as well because of that.
If I was judging it from a Tolkien fanatic point of view (which I am) then I would be quite disappointed with a lot of it. But from a pure neutral point of view it was great entertainment

Many companies often hold different events for employees or customers where they need an external speaker. We have often participated in this type of event, either with the responsibility for a workshop, or alternatively as an external speaker that contributes with visions and inspiration.
When we participate in this type of event, it is always with a specially tailored presentation. We do not believe you can allow yourself to just give a standard presentation. When planning a workshop - or speaking at an event - it is very important to adapt the presentation to the participating audience and the purpose of the event.
At Strand Consult, we work with strategic knowledge and information and we believe it is very important that our knowledge can be delivered in other ways than just through our large strategic reports that we continually publish. One of our objectives is that our knowledge can be combined with the possibilities of discussing and analysing that knowledge and information with a qualified employee from Strand Consult. You can find some more inspiration here: Strategic Workshops

In the United Kingdom(UK), about 838,000 men and 394,000 women have had a myocardial infarction (MI) and will need secondary prevention medications. Longterm adherence to secondary prevention therapies remains poor, nonadherence to medication in MI patients ranges from 13-60%(1). Studies show that approximately one fourth of cardiac patients do not refill their cardiac medications (2). Strategies to tackle the burden of non adherence could involve pharmacy care and The New Medicine Service (which is a service provided by community pharmacists to help patients on long term medications for chronic diseases) with a motivational interview incorporated as part of the counselling session of a community pharmacist. Communication of health providers with patients and between health providers could also be an important strategy to improve adherence.
Cardiovascular disease is high in all ethnic groups as well as in the general population; however it is the South Asians who have the highest prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) (3). In addition, South Asians develop CHD at a younger age, often before the age of 40 years (3).
Aim of this study:
This study is to investigate the feasibility and potential impact of a pharmacy care intervention involving motivational interviews and referral to the New Medicine Service in coronary heart disease patients on adherence to secondary prevention medication and on outcomes of coronary heart disease.
The study is designed as a prospective, controlled feasibility/pilot, intervention study. The study has two phases.
In the intervention phase a total of 200 coronary heart disease patients discharged from the London Chest Hospital will be enrolled into the study and followed up for one year. Pharmacies from up to six London Boroughs will be invited to take place in the study. Pharmacies will be randomised using a table of random numbers into intervention site or control site. The pharmacists working in the intervention pharmacies will be invited for training on the delivery of the intervention and on motivational interviewing. The intervention will be performed by community pharmacists. Recruitment of patients will take place in the hospital. In the interview phase 20 patients from South Asian backgrounds will be invited for a telephone interview to study the effect of their beliefs and cultural backgrounds in regards to their adherence to cardiac medication.
Outcome measures:
The primary outcome measure is self report adherence with coronary artery disease medication employing a standard validated measure. Secondary outcomes are blood pressure and LDL-C (low density lipoprotein cholesterol) in addition to data regarding the feasibility of the intervention.
Both quantitative and qualitative data analysis will be performed.

Active Comparator: Pharmacy care group
patients in this group will receive two counseling sessions with a motivational interview.
Behavioral: Pharmacist counselling session with a motivational interview
The intervention:
The patient will be invited by the community pharmacist for two consultations the first 2 weeks after discharge and the second after 3 months.
The intervention group consultation:
Community pharmacy consultation around 2 weeks The consultation will take place in the pharmacy a face to face consultation for 20 minutes including; Motivational interview session, the pharmacists will incorporate the key motivational interview skills in their consultation "Express empathy, develop discrepancy, role with resistance, support self efficacy".
The sessions will aim to develop a partnership between the pharmacist with the patient and exchange information to facilitate an informed decision. Furthermore both the pharmacist and the patient will negotiate behaviour and reach an agreement. The goal is to access motivation and elicit commitment to change behaviour "in this case would be adherence to life saving medication"

The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
Thomas Crown (Steve McQueen) is a self-made Boston millionaire who masterminds a bank heist in hopes of leaving it all behind. Tired of being part of the Establishment, he has hopes of pulling off the caper and flying to Rio. Erwin Weaver (Jack Weston) leads the cast of crooks who never actually meet Crown but manage to pull off the robbery without a hitch. Crown deposits 3 million in a Swiss bank account, pays off the crooks, and waits for the insurance company to repay the bank for the loss. Eddy Malone (Paul Burke) is the savvy detective who helps insurance investigator Vicky Anderson (Faye Dunaway) find the mastermind behind the heist. Thomas Crown Affair became one of the first films to employ many split-screen images throughout its running time, as devised by editor Hal Ashby. Michel Legrand's score was nominated for an Academy Award, and the song The Windmills Of Your Mind, written by Legrand with Alan and Marilyn Bergman took home the coveted Oscar.

The House Financial Services Committee plans to mark up a bill introduced by Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., on Wednesday that would require the Department of Labor to wait to publish its fiduciary rule for 60 days after the Securities and Exchange Commission releases its fiduciary rule proposal.
The bill, the Retail Investor Protection Act, is a "significantly revised" version of a discussion draft that Wagner released in late May, says Neil Simon, vice president for government relations at the Investment Adviser Association in Washington.
That proposal would have required the SEC to coordinate with other federal agencies before issuing any broker-dealer fiduciary rule, though it did not specifically name the DOL as the new one does.
Industry officials said that the first draft would have been of "little consequence" as an effort to slow the progress of the SEC and DOL in crafting their fiduciary rules.
Lee Covington, IRI's senior vice president and general counsel, told AdvisorOne Tuesday that "Our members support the SEC acting first so DOL will know what the other primary regulators are doing in the [fiduciary] area."
Also, the initial draft was not referred to any committee of jurisdiction. This bill, however, is being jointly referred to the House Education and the Workforce Committee.
Duane Thompson, senior policy analyst at fi360, adds that if the bill passes both committees and the full House "it would likely face similar referrals to two different Senate committees (Banking and Health/Education/Labor and Pensions), making it that much easier to block on the Senate side."
Thompson pointed to comments made by House Capital Markets Subcommittee Chairman Scott Garrett, R-N.J., who was quoted as saying the best way to "improve" Dodd-Frank is through a piecemeal legislative approach rather than attempting to repeal the entire law, which he acknowledged is not going to happen. "So again, [Wagner's bill is] really just a shot over the bows of both agencies to go slow, and reminding them — just in case they had forgotten — that Congress is watching."
Simon of IAA also says the revised bill "ratchets up" the dicussion draft's requirement that the SEC, before issuing any fiduciary proposal, "find that the status quo demonstrates economic harm to investors and that the new rule will remedy this economic harm," to say that "customers are being systematically harmed or disadvantaged."
But Simon says Wagner responded to advisory industry concerns by making the provision that would have required the SEC to link fiduciary duty and harmonization in one rule "less threatening" in her new bill. The new version states that the SEC, in its fiduciary rule, "shall consider the differences in the registration, supervision, and examination requirements applicable to brokers, dealers and investment advisors," which Simon says is "far less objectionable."

What is a guarantor?
A guarantor is someone who provides a legally binding promise that they will pay off a mortgage if the principal borrower fails to do so.
Often, guarantors are parents in a solid financial position, while the principal borrower is a child in a weaker financial position who is struggling to enter the property market.
Lenders usually regard borrowers as less risky when they have a guarantor – and therefore may charge lower interest rates or even approve mortgages they would have otherwise rejected.
However, if the borrower falls behind on their repayments, the lender might chase the guarantor for payment. In some circumstances, the lender might even seize and sell the guarantor's property to recoup their money.
How do I take out a low-deposit home loan?
If you want to take out a low-deposit home loan, it might be a good idea to consult a mortgage broker who can give you professional financial advice and organise the mortgage for you.
Another way to take out a low-deposit home loan is to do your own research with a comparison website like RateCity. Once you've identified your preferred mortgage, you can apply through RateCity or go direct to the lender.
What is breach of contract?
A failure to follow all or part of a contract or breaking the conditions of a contract without any legal excuse. A breach of contract can be material, minor, actual or anticipatory, depending on the severity of the breaches and their material impact.
What happens when you default on your mortgage?
A mortgage default occurs when you are 90 days or more behind on your mortgage repayments. Late repayments will often incur a late fee on top of the amount owed which will continue to gather interest along with the remaining principal amount.
If you do default on a mortgage repayment you should try and catch up in next month's payment. If this isn't possible, and missing payments is going to become a regular issue, you need to contact your lender as soon as possible to organise an alternative payment schedule and discuss further options.
You may also want to talk to a financial counsellor.
How often is your data updated?
We work closely with lenders to get updates as quick as possible, with updates made the same day wherever possible.
Mortgage Calculator, Repayment Type
Will you pay off the amount you borrowed + interest or just the interest for a period?
Remaining loan term
The length of time it will take to pay off your current home loan, based on the currently-entered mortgage balance, monthly repayment and interest rate.
Why was Real Time Ratings developed?
Real Time RatingsTM was developed to save people time and money. A home loan is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make – and one of the most complicated. Real Time RatingsTM is designed to help you find the right loan. Until now, there has been no place borrowers can benchmark the latest rates and offers when they hit the market. Rates change all the time now and new offers hit the market almost daily, we saw the need for a way to compare these new deals against the rest of the market and make a more informed decision.
What is a debt service ratio?
A method of gauging a borrower's home loan serviceability (ability to afford home loan repayments), the debt service ratio (DSR) is the fraction of an applicant's income that will need to go towards paying back a loan. The DSR is typically expressed as a percentage, and lenders may decline loans to borrowers with too high a DSR (often over 30 per cent).
Why is it important to get the most up-to-date information?
The mortgage market changes constantly. Every week, new products get launched and existing products get tweaked. Yet many ratings and awards systems rank products annually or biannually.
We update our product data as soon as possible when lenders make changes, so if a bank hikes its interest rates or changes its product, the system will quickly re-evaluate it.
Nobody wants to read a weather forecast that is six months old, and the same is true for home loan comparisons.
What is a construction loan?
A construction loan is loan taken out for the purpose of building or substantially renovating a residential property. Under this type of loan, the funds are released in stages when certain milestones in the construction process are reached. Once the building is complete, the loan will revert to a standard principal and interest mortgage.
What is appraised value?
An estimation of a property's value before beginning the mortgage approval process. An appraiser (or valuer) is an expert who estimates the value of a property. The lender generally selects the appraiser or valuer before sanctioning the loan.
Mortgage Calculator, Interest Rate
The percentage of the loan amount you will be charged by your lender to borrow.
How much is the first home buyer's grant?
The first home buyer grant amount will vary depending on what state you're in and the value of the property that you are purchasing. In general, they start around $10,000 but it is advisable to check your eligibility for the grant as well as how much you are entitled to with your state or territory's revenue office.
How can I get a home loan with bad credit?
If you want to get a home loan with bad credit, you need to convince a lender that your problems are behind you and that you will, indeed, be able to repay a mortgage.
One step you might want to take is to visit a mortgage broker who specialises in bad credit home loans (also known as 'non-conforming home loans' or 'sub-prime home loans'). An experienced broker will know which lenders to approach, and how to plead your case with each of them.
Two points to bear in mind are:
- Many home loan lenders don't provide bad credit mortgages
- Each lender has its own policies, and therefore favours different things
If you'd prefer to directly approach the lender yourself, you're more likely to find success with smaller non-bank lenders that specialise in bad credit home loans (as opposed to bigger banks that prefer 'vanilla' mortgages). That's because these smaller lenders are more likely to treat you as a unique individual rather than judge you according to a one-size-fits-all policy.
Lenders try to minimise their risk, so if you want to get a home loan with bad credit, you need to do everything you can to convince lenders that you're safer than your credit history might suggest. If possible, provide paperwork that shows:
- You have a secure job
- You have a steady income
- You've been reducing your debts
- You've been increasing your savings
How can I calculate interest on my home loan?
You can calculate the total interest you will pay over the life of your loan by using a mortgage calculator. The calculator will estimate your repayments based on the amount you want to borrow, the interest rate, the length of your loan, whether you are an owner-occupier or an investor and whether you plan to pay 'principal and interest' or 'interest-only'.
If you are buying a new home, the calculator will also help you work out how much you'll need to pay in stamp duty and other related costs.
What is stamp duty?
Stamp duty is the tax that must be paid when purchasing a property in Australia.
It is calculated by the state government based on the selling price of the property. These charges may differ for first homebuyers. You can calculate the stamp duty for your property using our stamp duty calculator.
What is mortgage stress?
Mortgage stress is when you don't have enough income to comfortably meet your monthly mortgage repayments and maintain your lifestyle. Many experts believe that mortgage stress starts when you are spending 30 per cent or more of your pre-tax income on mortgage repayments.
Mortgage stress can lead to people defaulting on their loans which can have serious long term repercussions.
The best way to avoid mortgage stress is to include at least a 2 – 3 per cent buffer in your estimated monthly repayments. If you could still make your monthly repayments comfortably at a rate of up to 8 or 9 per cent then you should be in good position to meet your obligations. If you think that a rate rise would leave you at a risk of defaulting on your loan, consider borrowing less money.
If you do find yourself in mortgage stress, talk to your bank about ways to potentially reduce your mortgage burden. Contacting a financial counsellor can also be a good idea. You can locate a free counselling service in your state by calling the national hotline: 1800 007 007 or visiting www.financialcounsellingaustralia.org.au.
What percentage of income should my mortgage repayments be?
As a general rule, mortgage repayments should be less than 30 per cent of your pre-tax income to avoid falling into mortgage stress. When mortgage repayments exceed this amount it becomes hard to budget for other living expenses and your lifestyle quality may be diminished.
Does each product always have the same rating?
No, the rating you see depends on a number of factors and can change as you tell us more about your loan profile and preferences. The reasons you may see a different rating:
- Lenders have made changes. Our ratings show the relative competitiveness of all the products listed at a given time. As the listing change, so do the ratings.
- You have updated you profile. If you increase your loan amount, the impact of different rates and fees will change which loans are the lowest cost for you.
- You adjust your preferences. The more you search for flexible loan features, the more importance we assign to the Flexibility Score. You can also adjust your Flexibility Weighting yourself, which will recalculate the ratings with preference given to more flexible loans.

As far as i can tell kaffeine uses libdvbapi which is part of linuxtv dvb-apps repo. So i'd like to know if there's already been any patch made to bring multiproto to libdvbapi ? I don't know much about multiproto or v4l-dvb api, or dvb rfc, but i'll probably focus on both the wiki info http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Multiproto and a good app example using macros referenced also in the wiki which is getstream http://silicon-verl.de/home/flo/projects/streaming/ any comments, further docs, references or examples, are welcome. thx Marc

Australia (CNN) -- Major royal tours like the one the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge embarked on this month act as milestones in a royal career.
The images that come out of them will be used in perpetuity to illustrate an ongoing history of monarchy. In New Zealand and Australia there have been dozens pictures that made great magazine spreads but I have chosen three that I think say something more.
The royal 'crawl-about'
On the face of things, this was just a play date at Government House in Wellington, New Zealand, but it had been organized for a future king and was the starting gun for a lifetime of official engagements for Prince George.
I chose a picture from the end of the event because it's also an intimate portrait of a close-knit family unit with hands-on parents who people can relate to. Every parent has had one of these moments and it's what makes parenthood worth it.
Uluru sunset
The Duchess has never been to Australia before and what stronger message could there be to say she has arrived? It's a rite of passage for tourists to have a picture taken at Uluru at sunset.
But this image is also loaded with family history.
Prince Charles and Diana posed in the same spot on their first foreign tour as a family. The interesting thing here is that Kate and William's picture didn't work. The shoot was rushed and the couple looked awkward. You can even see the shadows of photographers at their feet. This picture places Kate in a country where she will be Queen but it also speaks to the media pressure the couple are under and trying to juggle.
Future head of state
Prince William knows he hasn't been the headline act of this tour, with the spotlight firmly fixed on his wife and son.
But look closely and there's been an interesting shift in his public appearances. There were the usual fun moments, typified by sporting challenges with his wife and intimate moments with his son, but there's also a creeping formality to his engagements.
This was most obvious for me when he sat down with the Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, in Sydney. It was a kingly side that I can't remember seeing in him before -- Prince William is a future head of state.
During this tour we got to know a new generation of royalty (George) but we also saw an existing one (William and Kate) mature. They are doing it in their own way by focusing on events that reflect their personal interests (conservation, the military, sport, young people and hospices) and they've done so to rapturous praise in the Australian media and amongst the political leadership.
If they haven't killed off the republican debate, they've at least put it on the back burner. They've also added a chapter to their official biography.

EXCLUSIVE: Sarah McCarthy's film is about a Russian orphan learning to love her adoptive parents.
Annie Roney's ro*co films international has taken on international sales for Sarah McCarthy's documentary The Dark Matter of Love.
For full production information
The story is about an 11-year-old Russian girl, Masha, who learns to love her adoptive American family thanks to decades of scientific research by Dr Robert Marvin.
Roney said: "We are delighted to be taking out Sarah McCarthy's latest film, The Dark Matter of Love. This film has it all: excellent production values, memorable characters, a compelling narrative with twists and turns - including loads of fascinating family dynamics and dysfunction - and an undercurrent of science brought to us not by title cards or voice over but by clever use of archive footage and two scientists who help the family explore the way they love each other through a scientific lens. It's brilliant! We couldn't take our eyes off it."
Producers are Double Bounce in association with Front Row Partners and Met Film and in co-production with VPRO and The Wellcome Trust. Grace Hughes-Hallett produces alongside writer/director McCarthy.
In other news on the film, the team are launching a game related to the film called A Child Of Science, which will be about raising a child avatar based on the latest scientific findings about parental love (the game results can be shared on Facebook). There is also an installation planned to engage with audiences.
McCarthy previously directed The Sound of Mumbai, which had its world premiere in Toronto in 2010, Murderers on the Dancefloor and Black Widow Granny.

It was in 1890. In a small Pennsylvania town, the inventor Edward Goodrich Acheson carried out a series of experiments. He tried to heat carbon so intensely that it would result in diamond.
It didn't work.
So Acheson began mixing clay with carbon and electrically fusing it. The result was a product with shiny specks that were hard enough to scratch glass.
This was silicon carbide. Also known as carborundum.
The next year Acheson formed his company in Monongehela, PA and named it Carborundum, and moved the organization to Niagara Falls, NY in 1895.

PepsiCo Inc. has just announced the February release of a new Mountain Dew-flavored morning drink called Kickstart, which, while it may sound revolting to most adults, is great news for 18-year-old boys with epically early morning econ lectures everywhere.
According to Simon Lowden, the chief marketing officer for PepsiCo's Americas beverages, market research found that Mountain Dew drinkers weren't finding what they wanted in morning drinks like tea or coffee because neither beverage tastes enough like lemon-y pee water. "They didn't really see anything that fit their needs," Lowden said.
Coming in flavors like "energizing orange citrus" and "energizing fruit punch," Kickstart will be a whopping 5% juice and include Vitamins A and B, as well as additional caffeine. The company is not marketing it as an energy drink, however, and, despite coming in a giant 16-ounce can, the drink will actually only have about 92 milligrams of caffeine (a 16-ounce cup of coffee as about 330 milligrams).
AMERICA'S COLLEGE STUDENTS: There is a kid on your floor selling Adderall. Forget this gross drink and try getting in on that party instead.

Sonos heads across the river to a new space in downtown Boston. Wicked acoustics included.
Boston is, in my humble opinion, the best location in the world for a tech company. Especially one with a musical bent. We've got great colleges and universities, strong technical roots, and an awesome and historic music scene. It's not surprising, then, that Boston has been part of Sonos' DNA since the very beginning.
I joined the company in February 2003, shortly after it was founded in Santa Barbara, California. I was the eighth employee and the first on the East Coast. We've been proudly bi-coastal ever since — and now international — which has allowed us to be largely location-agnostic in our hiring. Currently we have almost 400 employees in Boston, about the same as our Santa Barbara office.
Our very first office in Massachusetts was actually just one room in a technology incubator in North Cambridge. Within a few months, however, we moved to Kendall Square. It was there, in 2008, where we installed our first video-conferencing system, which has played a huge role in making our global operation work so well. Then, in 2010, we moved to a former furniture factory in East Cambridge, which allowed us to have our first real hardware lab, instead of re-purposing a couple vacant rooms.
Within a few years, though, we were bursting at the seams again. Our staff was larger. Our lab needs were much more sophisticated. And the office itself was feeling more and more like a rabbit warren of isolated pods.
And so we decided to make our biggest move yet.

— Jamie Kinch (@jamiekinch) January 28, 2016
When looking for a new office we considered a range of locations in the Boston area. We wanted an open, collaborative work environment that supported both formal and informal meetings for all of the teams across product development, human resources, marketing, finance and more. We wanted a location that was urban but also easy to reach. And, because we don't work all the time, we wanted places nearby to go for lunch and drinks after work.
Oh, and we also needed space for a 30-by-30-by-30 foot acoustic chamber, among other lab equipment.
"There are two acoustically tuned listening rooms for the best place to listen to our speakers, and we installed that behemoth acoustic chamber without much trouble … aside from taking out a ceiling and briefly shutting down the street next to our building (sorry, Boston!)."
After months of searching, we found what we wanted, right in the middle of downtown. The new office is on two floors, with an outside deck. Inside, we totally renovated the space from a "cube farm" to an open seating layout with a variety of meeting areas, most with video-conferencing.
There are two acoustically tuned listening rooms for the best place to listen to our speakers, and we installed that behemoth acoustic chamber without much trouble … aside from taking out a ceiling and briefly shutting down the street next to our building (sorry, Boston!). But we now have the best acoustic lab in town.
The inside is only half the story, though. We're also blocks from public transportation (at the intersection of all subway lines, halfway between North and South Station) and great spots like the Boston Common, Chinatown and the Theater District, plus a host of restaurants.
"Boston is a great city for music, with venues from the Lizard Lounge and Wally's Café up to Symphony Hall and Boston Garden."
Whether you work in Boston or Santa Barbara — or Seattle or Hilversum, for that matter — Sonos is, and always has been, a company full of music lovers. And Boston is a great city for music, with venues from the Lizard Lounge and Wally's Café up to Symphony Hall and Boston Garden. There are tons of amazing organizations cultivating local talent, from The Record Company to Berklee College of Music. And the long history of Boston-area audio companies — Acoustic Research, Advent, Bose, Boston Acoustics, Cambridge Sound Works, Snell and others — continues to inspire us on our mission to create the ultimate home listening experience for the 21st century.
Throughout our history in Boston, we have always been playing our music out loud. Our growing team here doesn't all have the same taste, but I'd like to think that we're all open-minded. I get my best music recommendations from coworkers and, needless to say, we are all excited to kick off the playlist battle in our new office space.
Thanks for 13 great years, Boston. Here's to many more.

During the 2013 tax season, Northeastern Junior College partnered with the Denver-based Piton Foundation to provide free tax preparation assistance to low- to moderate-income families through the Tax Help Colorado program. At Northeastern's free tax site located on the college's campus, IRS-trained students filed 215 returns, helping local tax payers claim $364,603.00 in refunds.
This year, 12 students from Northeastern spent 538 hours preparing and filing returns for individuals with household incomes of less than $50,000, helping to alleviate the burden of commercial tax preparation costs on low-wage earners. Ninety-six percent of tax returns prepared by Tax Help Colorado were e-filed.
Many of the tax payers who visit Northeastern's free tax site are eligible for tax benefits for working families with children such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). One of the nation's most successful anti-poverty programs, the EITC promotes employment while providing valuable refunds to low-wage earners who oftentimes struggle to make ends meet for their families. At Northeastern's Tax Help site, working families claimed $111,158.00 in EITC refunds this year.
In 2013, 16 colleges participating in Tax Help Colorado operated 26 free tax sites at 16 college campuses statewide. Overall, more than 9,200 individuals received free tax preparation services. In addition, the sites processed 236 prior-year returns, bringing the total number of returns filed to 9,444, which is a 33 percent increase over last year. Tax Help Colorado helped families claim more than $18.5 million in tax refunds in 2013, including nearly $6.8 million from the EITC.
For more information on Tax Help Colorado, please visit piton.org/eitc.
The Piton Foundation sponsors the Tax Credits for Working Families Public Information Campaign and Tax Help Colorado as part of its efforts to help move Colorado families from poverty and dependence to self-sufficiency. Piton is a private foundation located in Denver, Colorado. It was established in 1976 by Denver energy entrepreneur Sam Gary.

What is a private order?
A private order allows you to place an order for a limited edition item before it has been produced.
The McQ Alexander McQueen FW12 runway collection is available exclusively at NET-A-PORTER and gives you the chance to have a piece of fashion history made especially for you.
How long do I have to place a private order?
To avoid missing out on owning a piece from this exquisite collection, place your private order by midday Wednesday, May 23. Items will not be available for private order or purchase on the website after this date.
Will I receive an order confirmation after I have placed a private order?
As this collection is an exclusive collaboration with McQ Alexander McQueen, you won't receive our usual order confirmation email. Instead, a fashion advisor will contact you personally to make sure your details and the sizes selected are correct. They will then place your order directly with McQ Alexander McQueen and send you an email to confirm this.
What is the best size for me?
As the McQ Alexander McQueen item will be produced especially for you, we won't be able to offer you an exchange if the size is unsuitable.

Must-read graphic novels are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.
Title: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Date: 1999-present
Vitals: A bunch of pulpy public-domain characters from 100 years ago form a super team to fight Professor Moriarty, Fu Manchu, and the Martian invaders from War of the Worlds. The result? Manages to be campy and literary. Call it camperary, maybe.
Famous names: Alan "weirdgod" Moore, Kevin O'Neill
Crunchy goodness: 5
Spinoffs/Sequels/Copycats: The 2003 movie starring Sean Connery has been known to cause people's eyeballs to turn into projectile shit. Do not sit in the same room as someone watching this movie, or you'll wind up with shit-splattered clothes while your newly blind friend begs for death. Not nearly as fun as it sounds.
Sights you'll never unsee: Mister Hyde rapes the Invisible Man to death — and the gruesome results will make you wish the invisibility trick kept working posthumously.
The shit: You can literally spend hours poring over all the little in-jokes in the comic itself, while each issue comes with a ton of fake Victorian ads and little prose pieces that immerse you in a bizarre distortion of the era that gave us steampunk.

Sandia's work in drilling technology is aimed at reducing the cost and risk associated with drilling in harsh, subterranean environments. The historical focus of the drilling research has been directed at significantly expanding the nation's utilization of geothermal energy. This focus in geothermal related drilling research is the search for practical solutions to challenges associated with tapping the most intense sources of heat, typically found well below the earth's surface in very severe environments.
Because a large portion of the cost and risk of generating electricity from geothermal sources is associated with drilling and completing exploration, production, and injection wells, Sandia's primary focus has been on the development of improved drilling and completion technologies such as diagnostics while drilling, high-temperature electronics, advanced drill bit technologies, and wellbore integrity technologies to reduce and mitigate problems associated with loss of circulation.
We also actively work on advanced drilling concepts to provide economical access to deeper and hotter resources in the future. Most of these research projects are conducted in cooperation with geothermal operators and companies within the well service industry. On a cost-per-foot basis, geothermal drilling is among the most expensive type of drilling performed; and Sandia's work this area has created natural synergies that benefit other industries and agencies (e.g.,Oil & Gas and DOD) requiring drilled access to the underground.

Opening an Offshore account
I'm currently working at Lloyds TSB International where we open all offshore accounts. You can apply online at lloydstsb-offshore.com. You will then be required to send in documentation to confirm your identity such as a Certified passport which must be certified to the correct standards which are for instance it must state true likeness, true copy of the original etc. If this is not stated this will hold up your application. They will also require a document to confirm your actual residency. Please make note that all certifications need to be done by a reputal person such as a bank official etc. If you are still classed as residing in the USA a utility bill or bank statement which can be original or again certified will be accepted. Once this has been received and accepted the account will be opened. Unfortunately they can only send your debit card to the address you state on your application.
I've just opened my Euro account for when I head out to Antibes in March for a new career in the yachting industry.
Hope the above helps you and is what your looking for.
The following page has a good discussion of the issues - pay special attention to the section regarding Self Employment (i.e., Social Security) taxes. If you don't set up your situation correctly (especially if you are under a contract) it looks like you may be liable for SS even though you may not be liable for income tax.
Whatever you do, do not join Lloyds Offshore. They offer the most appalling service I have ever come across (and I'm not just talking banks- I'm talking businesses in general.) Having complained to them a month ago explaining that I was not able to access my income within my account, they are yet to offer a solution!
My account was initially blocked when I tried to change my address on file with them (following the methods they stipulate.) Since trying to do so, they have frozen my account, responded to my requests with conflicting information and continued to correspond with me by POST (!!) by sending letters to my previous address.
No one is willing to deal with the issue at stake- dealing with Lloyds is a headache from beginning to end. Presumably they're just waiting for my savings to be exhausted having made so many international calls.....Don't be surprised when they hang up on you either!
